Subject: Final Rule Test Procedure for Battery Chargers and External Power
Supplies

Dear Battery Charger and External Power Supply Stakeholders:

The U.S. Department of Energy has published a Federal Register notice
"Energy Conservation Program for Certain Consumer Appliances: Test
Procedures for Battery Chargers and External Power Supplies." In this Final
Rule, DOE is inserting a new active mode energy consumption test procedure
for battery chargers. DOE is also amending portions of its existing standby
and off mode battery charger test procedure by decreasing the required
testing time. Further, DOE is amending its active mode single-voltage
external power supply test procedure to permit the testing of certain types
of external power supplies. Finally, DOE is inserting a new procedure to
address multiple-voltage external power supplies, which are not covered
under the current single-voltage external power supply test procedure.


Thank you for your continued participation in the Department's work on
battery chargers and external power supplies.
